According to the urban dictionary, I am only part. I didn't buy an overpriced, bloated bike that I can't work on. The guy works for one of my subs. He has a Sportster. I guess I got nailed with calling it a toy. I do use it to ride to work occasionally, but I travel from job site to job site. No office. That is why I use the car more. Still have to carry some tools with me and paper work as well. I guess I'll just let him think what he wants. It's hard enough convincing half the subs that I used to do the same thing that they are doing now. They all seem to know better when you try to tell them how to do something.

I actually might be right behind you. My company is suffering pretty badly in these economic times. They specialize in kitchen and bath remodeling. I know they are in financial trouble and I just keep hoping my check clears. many of my subs are owed money. I'm searching for a new job everyday, but there is not much out there. I might have to get back into the hands on end of things again.

I wouldn't worry about the name calling. But if he insults your mom, calls your baby sister a **** or says his dad can whip your dad....well, that's crossin' the line son.

Sounds like a RUB to me.
